Earlier this month, a rumour surfaced claiming that Samsung will go back to using a physical rotating dial on its upcoming Galaxy smartwatch. The rumour appears to be true as new images of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 have surfaced, posted by popular leaker Evleaks, where we can see a physical rotating dial along with some other information.
From the photo, the model (SM-R840) appears to be the 45mm version in a stainless steel casing. Also visible in the image is the heart rate sensor, the 22mm leather band and the physical rotating bezel with two buttons on the side. Other specifications of the Galaxy Watch 3 include GPS, MIL-STD-810G certification, 5 ATM water resistance, and Gorilla Glass DX protection.
Leaks about the hardware point to a 1.4-inch circular Super AMOLED screen, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, and it will run Tizen OS 5.5. It will support features such as ECG, sleep tracking, and connectivity options will include Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi. There will be two sizes: 41mm and 45mm, each which will have a battery capacity of 247mAh and 340mAh respectively.
Based on earlier rumors, it will be introduced in July along with Galaxy Buds Live.
